HE six photographs reproduced in this insert and the cross sectional 

drawing on the back of the insert show two striking examples of 
Pond Truss roof and the correct application of Lupton Products to 
obtain maximum results in light and ventilation in two malleable iron 
foundries. 

The Erie Malleable Iron Co.’s foundry, which is shown in the cross 
section, 1s 267 feet wide by 360 feet long. The Moline Malleable Iron 
Co.’s building is 128@ feet wide by 27534 feet long. In each building 
the Pond Trusses are located over floor areas where greatest heat is 
developed, and the slopes of the roof lead the heat and gases directly 
to the lines of Pond Continuous Sash in each side of the Truss, through 
which they pass outside of the building. At low points in the roof, over 
floor areas where no heat is developed, as over the flask storage and 
cleaning bay, other lines of Pond Continuous Sash are placed, through 
which cold air enters the building. This use of different openings in the 
roof, both for the intake of cold air and the discharge of heated air, is 
one of the distinctive features of Pond Truss design, and makes it possible 
to light and ventilate buildings of extraordinary width. Side wall open- 
ings are also used to admit cold air; but such openings alone would be 


insufficient for a building of the width here shown.

and the two lower lines sloping. This arrangement gives a wider distribution of light over the central area, 
and facilitates the movement of heated air and gases by eliminating sharp turns. Pages 48 to 61 tell how 
Pond Continuous Sash prevent the entrance of weather when open.

LUPTON SERVICE 


UPTON Service is maintained for the purpose of giving authoritative information 
concerning problems in daylighting and natural ventilation. Our Engineering 
Department codperates with owners, architects and engineers in working out the 


most suitable construction for each individual case. No charge is made for 


this service. 

No industrial building is merely “four walls and a roof.’ Each type of building and 
each mode of use imposes its own requirements as to lighting, weather protection, tem- 
perature control and air renewal. These requirements are obviously not the same in a 
steel mill as in a box factory. A power house requires wholly different treatment from a 
warehouse. 

For good results, both the type of sash and its application must be studied. We are 
ready to submit comprehensive drawings without charge, showing the most effective roof 
formation, types of sash with necessary lighting and ventilating areas, and location of 
same, to give the best results for the particular building and its intended use. 

Lupton Service originated a number of special designs, such as Pond Trusses for foun- 
dries, forge shops, glass factories and power houses, to obtain certain results sought by 
our clients. These designs and their results are shown elsewhere in this catalogue. 

Some striking examples of special design are shown in the front insert. Among those 
shown on later pages may be mentioned the Malleable Iron Foundry of the General Elec- 
tric Company, at Erie, Pa., where nearly eight acres of single story floor space are under one 
roof. (See page 74.) It is obvious that in such a building ordinary wall and roof open- 
ings would not get rid of the heat and gases generated. 

The following classes of buildings are noteworthy among those presenting difficult 
problems in lighting and ventilation, which Lupton Service solves: 


Foundries 
Special roof design is necessary to cause air currents which will rapidly disperse heat and 
gases and admit adequate light over the central area. The Pond Truss (see page 70) was 
designed to meet this and similar conditions. 


Forge Shops 
The requirements here are similar to those in foundries, but sometimes even more 
exacting as to ventilation. 
Glass Furnaces 
These require special roof formation to suit arrangement of furnaces. 


Power Houses 
These require varying roof levels to create an up-draft over the boilers, also location 
and form of roof sash to give direct light and ventilation to firing alleys. The side walls 


4 


LUPTON SERVICE 


require a specially large and massive type of window, with operating devices to control 
many sash simultaneously. 


Machine Shops 
These demand an abundance of evenly distributed overhead light, particularly where 
small parts are manufactured. The Pond Truss form of roof, though originally designed 
for a different type of building, is widely used in machine shops because of its lighting 
and ventilating qualities. 


Textile Mills 
Ample lighting at moderate cost of construction is desired, and a type of roof ventilating 
sash which is weathertight when open and can be quickly controlled in long lines. For 
weave sheds, the sawtooth roof has been found satisfactory. Where humidors are used, 
special provision is required for control of ventilation to maintain moisture. 


Multiple Story Buildings 
These should have special layouts of sash panels to suit the architectural character of 
building. Height and position of sash should be carefully studied, to secure light in the 
center of floor space. Size and location of ventilating areas should fit the character of 
work and number of persons employed. 


Office Buildings 
Counterweighted or Counterbalanced windows are needed, with special attention given 
to weatherproof qualities and to architectural effect. 


Hospitals 
Ample ventilating openings are desired, with sash so arranged that screens and shades 
can be fitted without interfering with ventilation. Avoidance of drafts is also necessary. 
Lupton Steel Sash, Projected Ventilator Type, was especially designed to meet these 
requirements. 


Special Conditions 
We are glad to codperate with the owner, architect or engineer in every case. We 
should have complete data of intended use of building, its length, width, height and other 
dimensions, location of columns, clearances, also any special requirements to be met. 
We will submit drawings embodying our recommendations, to be incorporated before the 
finished plans are made. No charge is made for this service.

FINER TYPES OF SASH 


PECIAL attention is drawn to the finer types of sash shown on pages 7 to 61 of this 
catalogue, comprising 


Lupton Steel Sash, Power House Type 

Lupton Steel Sash, Projected Ventilator Type 
Lupton Steel Sash, Counterbalanced Type 

Lupton Steel Sash, Counterweighted Type 

Pond Continuous Sash, with Pond Operating Device 


These types were originated by us for conditions which are not satisfactorily met by 
the Factory Type of pivoted sash, and they are recommended for such special service in 
every case where effective light and ventilation, convenience and economy of mainte- 
nance, rather than low first cost, are the important considerations. They embody details, 
such as oxy-acetylene welded joints, putty concealed by glazing angle frames, attractive 
finish to both sides of sash, and unrestricted freedom in the use of shades and screens, which 
are in keeping with the architectural qualities of the better classes of buildings. It is a 
Lupton policy to provide sash which meet every practical condition, and in the wide range 
of choice described in this catalogue we feel that this purpose has been accomplished. 


LUPTON STEEL SASH 


Pivoted Factory Type 
(Patented) 


The term Lupton Steel Sash is applied to the 
Factory Type of pivoted sash, also to certain 
special types, namely: the Packard Type; the 
Projected Ventilator Type, used in schools and 
hospitals; the Power House Type; the Counter- 
balanced Type, used in factories, etc., where a 
finer type than the ordinary factory sash is 
desired; and the Counterweighted Type, used 
in offices, public buildings and the like. Special 
attention is invited to these and other finer 
kinds of steel sash later described. 

Lupton Steel Sash, Pivoted Factory Type, 
is characterized by certain principles which we 
hold to be fundamental in this type, namely: 
solid one-piece rolled steel members, joints 
which resist corrosion and do not impair es- 
sential strength of sash, permanently tight 
weathering of ventilators, and simplicity of 
glazing. This sash is not built to sell on its 
low first cost; but in ultimate economy, due to 
low cost of maintenance, it stands the highest. 


STEEL SASH DEPARTMENT 


Members 


These are made of low carbon steel specially 
rolled for us in solid one-piece sections, each 
of shape and weight to give maximum strength 
and stiffness. Lupton Steel Sash is much more 
durable than sash having built-up members, 
because it has no internal surfaces subject to 
corrosion and impossible to protect with paint. 
Lupton one-piece sections can be attacked 
by rust only from the outside, and this is 
readily prevented by an occasional coat of 
paint. 

While Lupton Sash avoids ineffective weight 
of metal, the members are amply heavy for 
strength. On pages 12 and 36 the various sec- 
tions are shown full size, with their actual 
thickness given. We invite comparison, by 
actual measurement, of Lupton Sash section 
thicknesses with those of other sash sections 


apparently similar. 


LUPTON FACTORY 


Lupton Steel Sash, made to give Daylight, are made in a Daylight Building. 


i 


LUPTON STEEL SASH 


Joint 


The joint at the intersection of the muntins 
is made to give greatest strength against direct 
wind pressure, while providing amply for wind 
suction. The greater the stress applied from 
outside, where the pressure naturally comes, 
the tighter is the lock of the intersecting mem- 
bers. In addition, the Lupton Joint gives least 
opportunity for entrance of moisture, and is 
readily protected by paint. The preservation 


of the straight lines of sash members appeals to 
all who object to the excrescent effect of a 
curved joint. 

The joints between frame members and 
muntins are formed by fitting the muntins into 
the frame membersand solidly riveting them. No 
loose slot and bent tongue connections are used. 


Ventilator 


The two-point weather contact of ventila- 
tors is illustrated on this page and page 13. The 
meeting surfaces are flat and parallel with the 
glass, permitting adjustment to a true contact 
when the ventilator is fitted at the factory. The 
fit does not depend on the accuracy of the rolled 
sections as where curved wing members are used. 
This double contact, with its enclosed dead air 
space, 1s continuous all around the ventilators. 
Sections at top and bottom provide a drip at 
these points. Provision is made for removal of 
condensation outside of sash. The perma- 
nently weather and windproof construction of 
Lupton Steel Sash ventilators has a marked 
value in reducing heating cost of building. 


The Lupton Steel Sash Pivots (patented) are 
shown on pages 13 and 21. They are heavy mal- 


leable iron, designed with shoulders which carry 
the weight of the ventilators and relieve the 
bronze pivot pins. The design is such that the 
weathering is preserved regardless of whether 
the ventilator 1s open or closed, thus preventing 
the usual air and water leakage at this point. 
For easy cleaning, the ventilators can be opened 
to a go degree angle.

Ventilators opened singly are provided with 
peg and stay operators, the stays being notched 
to hold the ventilators at various degrees of 
opening. When closed, the stay folds back 
against the sash and locks over a headed pin. 
Ventilators operated in groups one above the 
other are connected by double arms attached 
to brackets at the pivots. See illustrations, 
pages 8 and 21. These double arms insure exact 
alignment and tight closing of the upper ven- 
tilators without slamming and risk of breaking 
glass, which happens with a single arm attached 
to the top of ventilators. 

Spring catches, permitting control by chains 
or cords, are furnished instead of peg and stays 
at additional cost. For automatic closing, 
pivots are placed above center and ventilators 
are closed by gravity when the fusible link in 
chain melts at 150 degrees F. ‘To control ven- 
tilators in lines a special type of Pond Operating 
Device X-Arm, is furnished. See page 65. 

Ventilators may be located in sash where- 
ever desired. They should not exceed 5 feet in 
either width or height, nor have an area greater 
than 18 square feet. See page 14 for sash 
sizes recommended in connection with ven- 
tilators. The best use of ventilators is shown 
on page 15. For clearances required for venti- 
lators extending full width of sash, also for 
connecting arms when sash has several venti- 
lators each full width of sash, see page 17. 


Frame Members 


On page 12 the several Lupton Steel Sash 
frame members are shown. Sections ror and 
108 are most commonly used. For sash set in 
brick or concrete walls and in steel framing we 
recommend Section 108. Details showing the 
application of these sections to various condi- 
tions are given on pages 18, 19 and 20. 

When standard mullion Sections 102 or 116 
are used, Section rol is placed at the mullion 
jambs of sash (see F, page 13) but Section 
108 may be used at the opposite jamb and 
at head and sill. No additional charge 1s made 
for using Sections ror and 108 in combination 
on a sash. The T-bar mullion, Section 139 
(see page 18), is extensively used; the broader 
mullion line gives a pleasing eiect to panels 
of sash. 


Sash and Glass Sizes 


No single sash should contain an area 
greater than 70 square feet. Larger sizes are 
awkward to handle and hard to erect. All units 
of the same height are interchangeable. Re- 
quired widths of openings or amount of venti- 
lation are obtained by grouping units of differ- 
ent widths or having different ventilating areas. 
(See page 17.) 

Where possible, sash should be laid out for 
standard glass sizes. As shown on page 16, 
Lupton Sash are made for glass sizes from 10 
to 14 inches wide and from 16 to 20 inches 
high. This page also gives sash measurements 
with Sections IoI and 108 separately and com- 
bined, based on different glass sizes. Page 17 
shows deduction to be made from the sash 
sizes to ascertain wall opening size, space re- 
quired by mullions, and method of figuring 
sash dimensions from glass sizes. Directions 
for stacking, erecting and glazing are given on 
pages 10 and 11. We furnish list of glass sizes 
required, but assume no responsibility for errors. 
All glass sizes should be re-checked. See page 
15 for glass sizes in ventilators. 

When so ordered, Lupton Steel Sash, Pivoted 
Factory Type, will be made to meet the re- 
quirements of the National Board of Fire Un- 
derwriters, and will bear the label of the Un- 
derwriters’ Laboratories. 


Special Types 

The finer kinds of Lupton Steel Sash de- 
scribed in the later pages embody details of 
construction and finish in keeping with their 
conditions of use and architectural appearance. 
These include such features as oxy-acetylene 
welded joints, putty concealed by glazing angle 
frames, attractive finish to both sides of sash, 
arrangement permitting unobstructed use of 
shades and screens, etc. While these sash pre- 
sent the highest development in design and 
construction, their cost 1s not excessive, and 
they are especially economical when mainte- 
nance is considered. 


Specification 


For practicability and durability of construc- 
tion, best results in light and ventilation, and for 
economical first cost and minimum maintenance, 
specify Lupton Steel Sash of the desired type.

Stacking 


Lupton Steel Sash should be carefully stacked 
as soon as received by standing them on edge 
on three or more level pieces of lumber, such 
as 3x4’s, with strongly braced uprights against 
which the sash may lean. Do not lay sash flat 
or pile one upon another. 


Erecting, 


Angles of wall opening must be true go de- 
grees. Set and carefully level sash. Put block- 
ing wedges only directly under jambs as shown. 
See that horizontal muntins line up exactly 
with those in adjoining sash. 

LEAVE CLEARANCE AT HEAD AND 
JAMBS*SO THAT, VENTIPATORS ew 
OPEN-FREEVYe 

Ventilators are wired to sash and braced by 
wood blocks; do not remove these till sash are 
completely set. When two ventilators occur 
in a sash, the arms connecting them must be 
attached and adjusted after sash are set. 

Lintels over sash must carry walls without 
deflecting any part of their load on the sash. 


Glazing 


Glazing is done after sash are built into the 
walls; the work 1s done from the inside. Each 
light is held by two Lupton Glazing Wedges 
(Patented), which are forced down till the flat 
surface engages the glass and the sloped edge 
fits tightly against the double-headed rivet. 
Only two wedges per light are required; each 
gives continuous flat bearing of 3% inches 
against the glass and prevents breakage from 
expansion. The tapered edge makes the wedge 
self-adjusting to varying thicknesses of glass. 
No tool is required; the rivets are placed in the 
sash at the factory, hence the glazing operation 
is very rapid and inexpensive. 


PilViO fe Der a Cr ORY “fry PE 


Glass should be carefully back puttied, and 


putty should also be applied inside and beveled 
back. 


Ordinary putty does not give good results. 
We recommend Lupton Special Putty, which 
makes a permanent bond. 


Note that the border lights in ventilators are 
smaller than other lights; see page 15. We 
furnish lists of glass sizes on request, but do 
not assume responsibility for errors. All lists 


should be rechecked. 


Fittings

For sash dimensions, see pages 14 and 16 


For maximum efficiency in sash construction, we recommend the combinations of sash and ventilators shown above. 


These ventilated sash may be used in connection with larger stationary sash, as desired. Ventilators should not exceed 


5 feet in width or 5 feet in height, nor contain an area exceeding 18 square feet. Ventilators may be located in sash 


where desired, but location should be clearly stated when ordering sash. Where two or more ventilators occur in a sash 


they are connected by double arms, which operate all ventilators in unison and prevent glass breakage. 


Explanation of Stock Numbers 


In the stock numbers above the first letter gives the 
glass size; as, A indicates 10 by 16 inch lights, B indi- 
cates 12 by 18 inch lights, and C indicates 14 by 2c inch 
lights. When glass sizes other than these are wanted use 
the letter O and give required glass size immediately after 
the complete stock number. The first of the two numerals 
following the glass size letter gives the number of lights in 
width and the second the number of lights in height con- 
tained in the sash. For example: ASg indicates a sash unit 
taking ro by 16 inch glass, five lights wide and nine lights 
high, without ventilation. The letter following the numer- 
als shows how many ventilators are in the sash—A calls 
for one ventilator, B for two, C for three. The numeral 
following any of these letters indicates the number of 
lights in each ventilator. Thus, Type Bs58AgQ is a sash 
five lights wide by eight lights high, taking 12 by 18 inch 
glass, equipped with one ventilator of nine lights. If two 
ventilators of six lights each were required, Type B58B6 
would be used. Type O48C8 (12 by 20 inches) describes 
a sash four lights wide by eight lights high, taking 12 by 
20 inch glass and equipped with three ventilators of eight 
lights each. The location of the ventilators in the sash 
should always be stated. See page 16 for over-all sizes of 
standard sash units taking different glass sizes. 


Glass Sizes in Ventilators 


The glass in the top and bot- 


tom rows of lights occurring in 


ventilators are 7% inch shorter, 


and the two side rows of lights 


are 7% inch narrower, than other A XK ieos Wesel A 


lights in a sash. Internal lights J 
in ventilator are the same size \/ 


as those in sash. [The reduction aN 


in size of border lights is due to / “ 
space taken up by weathering / . 


members around ventilator (see 


details page 13). The four cor- A [aT a Ta ]a 


ner lights in a ventilator will be 


7% inch less in both height and 

width, while other border lights will be reduced 7 inch in 
one dimension only—either in height or width, according 
to their location. 

In the illustration, lights of one size have a common 
letter; thus in a nine-light ventilator there is one light 
A the same size as in the stationary part of sash, the 
four corner lights B are reduced in both dimensions, 
the lights C 7 inch less in height and the lights D 74 
inch less in width. This applies to ventilators of any 


size.

which are built in joints of brickwork. We 
recommend Section 108, as shown in

31. Section 108 is the best frame mem- 
ber for sash in brick walls. The leg of this 
section is built in the joint of the brick- 
work as the walls are laid. Leave clearance 
for operation of ventilators. This member 
may be given a bearing of 34 inch in the 
wall, except for sash having two ventilators, 
each full width of sash, in which case only 
¥Y% inch bearing should be given, to give 
additional clearance required by double 
connecting arms.

70. When openings are made 
for sash to be set later or when 
it is desired to provide for their 
removal, jambs should be made 
with reveals and bolts built in

threaded ends projecting, as 
shown. The sash are set in the 
finished wall and are held by 
clips secured to the bolts.

When two sash, one above 
the other, occur in Lupton Steel 
Sash, they are connected by 
double arms attached to brack- 
ets at pivots. This method of 
operating assures control of 
both ventilators in alignment, 
eliminating glass breakage 
caused by slamming the lower 
ventilator in order to close the 
upper one, as when ventilators 
are connected by a single arm. 


Phantom view of Lupton Pivot (Patented). Lupton Pivots 
are made of heavy malleable iron and are provided with a 
shoulder which carries the entire weight of the ventilator, re- 
lieving the bronze pin from any strain. The pivots are attached 
directly to the muntins (Section 100), not to the weathering 
members. There are no apertures permitting entrance of 
rain and cold air where these pivots are placed, as their con- 
struction preserves the weathering. These features are to be 
found only in the Lupton Pivot.

Brass spring catches with steel chains are 
furnished instead of peg and stays only when 
specified and at an additional cost. The catch 
is applied at the top of the ventilator and 
the opposite end of the chain is carried over 
a roller and attached to the bottom of the 
ventilator. We provide holes for these fittings,

LUPTON STEEL SASH 


FOR SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS AND 
OFFICE BUILDINGS 


This type of sash was first de- 
signed for hospitals, to afford maxi- 
mum ventilation without direct 
draft and without interference with 
shades and screens. 

The ventilators are operated by 
sliding arms working in grooves at 
sides. The arms hold the ventilators 


top, and no part projects past the 
outside of sash. 

Screens may be applied outside, 
and individual shades attached to 
the inside of each ventilator. 

The sash have the moulded face 
of the members inside and the glaz- 


ing frames outside. Ventilators have 
double weathering and are accu- 
rately fitted. Joints are oxy-acetylene 
welded. Glass is held by glazing 


angle frames which conceal putty.

LUPTON STEEL SASH 


Power House Type 


(Patented, and Patents Pending) 


Lupton Steel Sash, Power House Type, is distinguished by the following features: 


1. The openings are subdivided by mullions and imposts of unusual width, giving a 
massive appearance in harmony with the architecture of the building; 


2. All the sash are pivoted, except those having curved heads; 


3. All the sash in each wall are usually operated simultaneously, thereby producing a 
uniform appearance which adds greatly to the dignity of the building. 


Frames 


In proportioning the imposts and mullions 
the proper relation of vertical to -horizontal 
lines is carefully observed, the mullions being 
broader and the imposts being of two widths, 
with the wide impost where the arch joins the 
vertical lines of the frame. 


~The frame, imposts and mullions are formed 
of 12 gauge steel plate. For convenience in 
erecting, the frame is divided horizontally into 
sections at the imposts, each section contain- 
ing one or more rows of sash, and the members 
forming the imposts being bolted together on 


erection. This is done to facilitate handling. 


The units are completely assembled at the 
factory to test the correctness of their fit. 


Sash 


All sash members are heavy one-piece rolled 
steel sections and are solidly oxy-acetylene 
welded at the joints. All except the stationary 
sash are constructed with double weathering 


on both sides, and are hung on Lupton Pivots, 
which preserve the weathering unbroken. The 
sash are set in reveals formed in the frames and 
are held by continuous angles. 


Glazing Angle Frames 


Glazing frames, made of light angles which 
conceal putty and give a pleasing finish to the 
inner face of the sash, are furnished when speci- 
fied. This method of glazing is in keeping with 
the construction and finish of Lupton Steel 
Sash, Power House Type, and the additional 
cost of the frames is well warranted. 


Specification 


Specify Lupton Steel Sash, Power House 
Type, with 12 gauge plate steel frame, imposts 
and mullions; sash made of rolled steel mem- 
bers with welded joints and double weathered

of construction and the weatherproof 
feature of this type of sash. The tiers

LUPTON STEEL SASH 


Counterbalanced Type 
(Patents Pending) 


Lupton Steel Sash, Counterbalanced Type, has the upper and lower sash balanced 
over a pair of pulleys, so that the upper sash descends as the lower sash is raised. It is to 
be carefully distinguished from Lupton Steel Sash, Counterweighted Type, in which each 
sash is balanced by its own pair of weights. 

We originated Lupton Steel Sash, Counterbalanced Type, to fill a well-defined require- 
ment for a sliding sash window of heavy construction which gives greater ventilating 
area than the average pivoted sash, and which, by not projecting into the building, pre- 
cludes any interference with cranes or with the use of shades and screens, and offers no 
obstruction to machines or men working close to the windows. 

The value of this type was shown by its immediate adoption, not only in strictly in- 
dustrial buildings, but also in publishing and loft buildings, and others occupied largely 
by clerical workers. 

Lupton Steel Sash, Counterbalanced Type, is built to fill openings of any desired size, 
standard glass sizes being disregarded. Window units are made up to 7 feet wide and 18 
feet high; units may be used singly or in multiple. We recommend that openings be 
divided to take units as nearly 6 feet wide as possible. Large windows are operated as 
easily as smaller ones, and both first cost and maintenance are less for equal area. 

Up to and including 12 feet in height, windows are two sash high, giving practically 
50% ventilating area. From 12 to 18 feet high three sash are used, the middle sash being 
stationary. This gives about 66% ventilating area. Since the ventilating areas are always 
equal at the top and bottom of the windows, the most effective air circulation is obtained. 

No horizontal muntins are used unless specified. Their omission makes a better ap- 
pearance and simplifies glass cleaning. It has been found in actual practice that there 
is less breakage with large lights, because breakage is due almost entirely to carelessness, 
and men are more careful when working near windows glazed with large lights.

We make a special counterbalanced type 
with a rolled bronze weathering member in each

double lipped grooves, in each of which a flange 
of the sash member slides, and 1s held by a two- 
point contact. The weathering thus provided 
is positively draft and weather tight. This

LUPTON STEEL SASH 


Counterweighted Type 


(Patents Pending) 


Lupton Steel Sash, Counterweighted Type, was the first rolled steel counterweighted 
sash. We originated it for use in offices, hotels and public buildings where close fit of 


sash, smooth and easy operation and perfect weather exclusion are essential. 
is individually balanced by its own counterweights. 


Each sash 
Close fit and weather exclusion are 


provided by attaching a rolled bronze weathering member at the jambs in which the flanges 


of the side rails of sash run. 


Frames 


Head and sill are made each in one piece of 
12 gauge plate steel, formed to make a tight 
contact with sash and provide suitable wind 
breaks. The sill has a double rise, which pre- 
vents water from entering in any weather. The 
jamb boxes are formed of 14 gauge plate. The 
jamb facing is a heavy -ne-piece rolled steel 
section with two fins, each of which makes con- 
tact with a sash rail. 


Rolled Bronze Double Weathering 


Attached to each jamb facing is a rolled 
bronze weathering member having two deep 
grooves, 1n each of which a flange of the channel 
sash rail slides. Thus three points of contact 
are provided, two in the bronze weathering 
member and one with the jamb facing. The 
bronze weathering permits a close and uniform 
fit, making an absolutely draft-proof window 
without friction. 


Sash 


Top and side rails are heavy channel mem- 
bers, Section 110. Meeting rails are Sections 
208 and 209, and are provided with an effective 
lap contact which excludes drafts and prevents 
rattling. Bottom rail is Section 202, with flanges 
of different widths meeting the sill at two 
points as shown in the detail, page 45. Vertical 
muntins, if used, are Section 100. No horizontal 
muntins are used. All members are solidly 
oxy-acetylene welded at the joints. Chains run 
over roller bearing pulleys and carry sectional 
weights. Suitable bar lifts and_ locks

bronze, and in design is in keeping with the fine 
finish of the windows. The transoms are equipped 
with projected ventilator arms, which hold them 
open in any position without sash adjusters. 


The counterweighted windows have rolled 
bronze weathering members at the jambs, and 
contacts at meeting rails and sill, which are ex- 
okie features of this type of Lupton Sash.

POND CONTINUOUS SASH 


(Patented by Clarke P. Pond, and Patents Pending) 


We originated Pond Continuous Sash, the first top hung continuous sash, to accomplish 
three results: 

1. To be weatherproof when open, thus giving ventilation at all times regardless of 
weather; 

2. To afford the greatest ventilating area in proportion to sash area; 

3. To facilitate the removal of heated air instead of impeding it, as is done by pivoted 
sash in roof openings. 

Pond Continuous Sash consists essentially of a series of sash units connected to form an 
unbroken line, which is hinged at the top and hung outside of all structural work, pre- 
senting a weather-sealed surface. At the head the sash line 1s set behind and hinged to 
the vertical leg of a continuous angle which forms a weather tight hood over the sash. 
At each end the sash laps a storm panel, consisting of a light of glass in a steel frame, which 
prevents rain or snow from blowing in at the ends. ‘Thus weather is effectively excluded 
at all points. Pond Continuous Sash is weather tight, open or closed, under any practical 
conditions. 

Apart from the weatherproof feature, the value of this type of sash depends on the 
amount of ventilation it affords, and this in turn depends on the efficiency of the operating 
device controlling the sash. As the weight of top hung sash must be lifted by the device, 
and the load greatly increases as the angle of opening widens, it is evident that the device 
must develop exceptional power in order to give an effective width of opening to long lines 
of sash. Pond Sash is always controlled by the Pond Operating Device. We guarantee 
this device to control longer lines of sash, and give a greater angle of opening with less 
applied power, than any other device. 

Pond Continuous Sash is most effectively used in the Pond Truss form of roof. It is 
also used in monitor and sawtooth roofs and in side wall openings. In monitors the sash 
may be set in single or multiple lines and in vertical or sloping positions. In sawtooths 
two lines of sash should be used—the upper sash is usually 3 feet high and is always hinged 
and controlled by the Pond Operating Device; the lower sash may be 4, 5 or 6 feet high, 
stationary or operated, as desired. ‘The angle of slope when closed should not exceed 30 
degrees from vertical. On buildings such as foundries, where a large amount of fresh air 
is wanted with weather protection, Pond Continuous Sash should be used in the side walls, 
either in long lines outside of columns or in panels extending from pilaster to pilaster.

tact with curb; the sash rods of the operating 
device are attached to the inner wing, and the 
outer wing is provided with drip holes for 
drainage. 

The expansion caps which connect sash units 
are made of 14 gauge steel formed to make a 
weather tight contact with the rail members. 
The function of these caps is to provide the 
necessary flexibility to prevent strain on the 
sash or glass due to faulty alignment of struc- 
tural work. 

Hinges are malleable iron with 36-inch 
bronze pins. 


Welded Assembly 


The members of a sash unit are accurately 
framed and fitted, and are then oxy-acetylene 
welded together, forming a jointless, one-piece 
unit, with the natural strength of the individual 
members reinforced by their coalition into a 
united whole. Oxy-acetylene welding is neces- 
sarily costly, but it is only by this process that 
permanent strength, rigidity and freedom from 
corrosion can be obtained. Lighter members 
and cold pressed or riveted joints reduce the 
manufacturing cost, but such sash are not 
economical because of theirunsatisfactory oper- 
ation and high cost of maintenance. 


Storm Panels 


At each end of all operated lines we provide 
storm panels which under-lap the hinged sash 
and form a barrier to rain or snow. These 
storm panels are frames 2 feet wide and the 
height of the sash, made of 14 gauge steel plate 
oxy-acetylene welded at the corners and con- 
taining a light of glass. Illustrations on page 
53 show these panels, which are a special fea- 


ture of Pond Sash. 


Standard Sizes 


Sash units are made for spacing on centers 
of 20 feet with 1 inch clearance for expansion. 
Special end units are made to fill out lines as 
required, so that the total length of sash line 
need not be a multiple of 20 feet. Vertical 
muntins are spaced 2 feet on centers. No 
horizontal muntins are used; the glass is al- 
ways in single lights full height of sash.

feet long and in standard heights as follows: 


No. 3 Sash, 3’ high. Size of lights, 2338" x 2’ 834" 
No. 4 Sash, 4’ high. Size of lights, 233"x 3 834" 
No. 5 Sash, 5’ high. Size of lights, 2338"x 4’ 834" 
No. 6 Sash, 6’ high. Size of lights, 2338"x 5’ 834" 


Three feet is the minimum standard height 
of Pond Sash. Smaller sash, when open, do not 
project far enough to form an effective weather 
hood over the opening. A recommendation for 
operated continuous sash less than 3 feet 
high should be deemed an admission that the 
operating device cannot deliver the power 
necessary for larger sash. 

The tables on pages 50, 52 and 54 give heights 
of openings to receive standard sash. When 
openings exceed 6 feet, the maximum height 
of the single sash, two or more sash lines are 
used, one above the other. 


Glazing 


Sash should be glazed with 1%-inch glass. 
Lights are bedded in special putty and held 
securely by Lupton Glazing Wedges, similar 
to those for glazing Lupton Steel Sash shown 
on page 10, but larger and made of copper. 
Glass is set from outside. Sash are given a 
thorough coat of paint at the factory and should 
be painted two color coats after erection. 


Operation 


The success of continuous sash ventilation 
depends directly on the operating device. Only 
a device of correct principle and exceptional 
power can open long lines to an effective width, 
as the weight of top hung sash must be lifted 
by the device. The Pond Operating Device, 
by which Pond Continuous Sash is exclusively 
controlled, operates by tension transmission 
and is free from the friction losses and excessive 
flexure of torsion and similar devices. It 1s fully 
described on pages 62 to 69. 

We recommend that Pond Operating Device 
be equipped with spirals and counterweights 
when lines of vertically hung sash are longer 
than 100 feet, or when sloping lines are longer 
than So feet. 


PON DD} CON TENG O US eS As Er 


These spirals and counterweights are an ex- 
clusive feature of Pond Operating Device, and 
their function is to balance the load of the sash 
at varying angles of opening (see page 64). 
Equally long lines may be operated without 
this equipment, but its use greatly facilitates 
operation. 

For rapid operation of long lines of sash an 
electric motor drive is desirable. We furnish a 
complete equipment for this purpose, with au- 
tomatic cutout limiting movement of sash. 
See page 68. 

The area of ventilation given by the opera- 
ting device is the test of its value. The follow- 
ing table gives the widths of sash opening for 
Pond Continuous Sash controlled by Pond 
Operating Device. These openings are guar- 
anteed and we invite comparison between them 
and openings of top hung continuous sash con- 
trolled by other devices.

No. 5 sash, 5’ high, 41°, or 407. ‘é 
No. 6 sash, 6’ high, 36°, or 44” 


Structural Work Required 


A continuous angle or Z-bar is required at the 
head of the sash, and a continuous angle, or 
other member giving a flat surface, below the 
sash. When two lines of sash, one above the 
other, are used in sawtooths or on sloping sur- 
faces, the angle or Z-bar is not required at the 
head of the lower sash if itis stationary. (See 
detail, page 56.) If both upper and lower sash 
are operated, a continuous angle is required 
above each sash. 

Where two or more sash are used 1n monitors, 
or in any vertical position, a continuous angle 
is required at the head of each sash, whether 
they are stationary or hinged. (See detail, page 
54.) 

Vertical members on centers not greater than 
10 feet are required for the support of the sash 
and operating device. These may be angles, 
channels or other suitable sections. Pond Con- 
tinuous Sash and Pond Operating Device effect 
a saving in steel work by requiring fewest 
structural members. 


Work Not Included. 


We do not furnish angles, Z-bars or any, other 
structural work or do any punching of stcuc- 
tural work required for the support of sash‘ar 
operating device. We furnish complete draw-\ 
ings showing all details and punchings. We do — 
not include with the sash any flashings at head 
and sill or ends, or any roof connections.

Pond ‘‘A”’ Frame 


60 


The Pond ‘“‘A”’ Frame, shown by the two in- 
stallations, was originally designed for a court 
skylight on the Canadian Locomotive Com- 
pany’s plant at Kingston, Ont., where abundant 
light and ventilation were required with limited 
roof area. It has since been widely used by the 
Willys-Overland Company, American Brass Com- 
pany, Domestic Engineering Company, Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad and other large corporations. The 
Willys-Overland Company, after trying it for 
court ventilation, is now using it on many fac- 
tories and service stations for roof lighting instead 
of the conventional sawtooth construction. It 
enables the entire roof area it covers to be used 


for light and ventilation. 


The Pond “A” Frame is also used as a cold 
air supply for large buildings in connection with 
the Pond Truss. When so used the Pond “A” 
Frames are located in low sections of the roof, 
and the Pond Truss is located with its outlets 
over the points of greatest heat. See Pond Truss, 
page 70. This makes it entirely practical to 
construct one-story buildings of any width and 
length which will be amply lighted and venti- 


lated throughout the entire area. 


POND CONTINUOUS SASH 


Pivoted Type 


Comparison 


We recommend Pond Continuous Sash, top 
hung, and make the Pivoted Type only when 
required. Snow and rain strike this sash when 
open and are blown over the top, while the top 
hung type is weatherproof under all conditions 
and is easily controlled by Pond Operating 
Device in long lines, with the varying load of 
the sash offset by spirals and counterweights. 
The Pivoted Type increases the cost of the 
building by reason of the additional steel re- 
quired for the roof cantilever and for contin- 
uous members to which sash is pivoted. We 
can demonstrate that better ventilating results, 


under all weather conditions, are obtained by 
the use of Pond Continuous Sash, top hung. 


First Installation 


The original installation of Pond Continuous 
Sash, Pivoted Type, was 70,000 square feet, 
furnished by us in 1909 for the Pullman Com- 
pany,in their steel freight car plant at Pullman, 
Illinois. 

Specification 

Malleable pivots with bronze pins are used, 
and all other features, including welded joints 
and sections, are the same as for top hung sash 
shown on preceding pages.

POND OPERATING DEVICE 


(Patented by Clarke P. Pond, and Patents Pending) 


Pond Operating Device is designed to effectively operate long or short lines of top hung, 
horizontally or vertically pivoted, and horizontally sliding sash. Power is transmitted 
by tension, and the arms are designed to give maximum leverage when the sash load 1s 
greatest. This load varies according to the type of sash. In pivoted sash the load is 
greatest at the moment of opening, when the sash are in contact at all sides with the 
frames, and is least at the widest degree of opening, when the upper part of the sash swing- 
ing in counterbalances the lower part swinging out. In top hung continuous sash the load 
must be lifted by the device, and it greatly increases as the angle of sash opening becomes 
wider. Pond Operating Device provides the various types of arms and operating gears 
which best meet such conditions; but the principle of operation, that of tension trans- 
mission of power and the application of power to the sash by correctly compounded levers, 
together with machine cut steel gears running in oil, phosphor bronze bushings in hinged 
connections and the elimination of friction, are found in all types of Pond Operating Device. 


Mechanism sash are opened to their maximum extent. Be- 
cause of the compounding leverage of the arm 
movement, the load on the hand chain in- 
creases only 30 per cent as fast as the sash load 
increases. 

All hinged connections throughout the de- 
vice are bushed with phosphor bronze bearings 
to ensure durability. 


The worm gear of Pond Operating Device 1s 
strongly proportioned and machine cut from 
solid steel, enclosed in a dustproof case and 
immersed in oil. The gear locks the sash in 
any position, preventing slamming and break- 
age of glass.

steel rods in 20 foot lengths with hot headed 
ends, connected by malleable barrel coup-

Except for an occasional coat of paint, Pond 
Operating Device requires no maintenance; it 
is foolproof and will last as long as the building 
without adjustment or relubrication. 

Pond Operating Device is guaranteed to con- 
trol longer lines of sash and give a greater width 
of opening with less power applied to the hand 
chain than any other device. 


Spirals and Counterweights 


Spirals and counterweights are recommended 
to balance the load when top hung continuous

equipment is substituted for the idler pulley

gear. The counterweight is hung on a steel 
cable, which passes over the spiral, as shown in 
the accompanying illustration. The spiral is 
so designed that its changing radius, as the sash 
open and close, increases or decreases the lever- 
age of the counterweight in exact proportion 
to the varying sash load, so that this load 1s 
always balanced in either direction. The coun- 
terweight is provided with slides and auto- 
matic safety device. 

Spirals and counterweights should be used 
for the operation of Pond Continuous Sash in 
vertical lines longer than 100 feet and in slop- 
ing lines longer than 50 feet. While equally 
long lines may be controlled without them, the 
load on the hand chain is unnecessarily 1n- 
creased and the control of the line is made 
arduous. They are furnished only when specifi- 
cally included in our proposal and at an addi- 
tional cost. 


Specification

Pond Operating Device, Motor Driven 


Pond Operating Device, Motor Driven, is 
recommended where many sash are to be oper- 
ated quickly, as in a foundry to prevent loss of 
heat after pouring, or to shut out sudden storms 
when pivoted sash are used. The motor drives 
through compound ball bearing worm gears cut 
from solid steel and immersed in oil. An auto- 
matic cutout 1s included, which limits the move- 
ment of the sash in each direction without strain 
on the operating device. It is arranged to open 
the circuit quickly to prevent arcing, although 
the chain itself moves slowly. The switch may 
be set to hold sash at any degree of opening. 

The motor is for alternating current, I10, 
220 or 440 volts, 60 cycle, 3 phase. It is espe- 
cially wound for high starting torque. We do 
not recommend a direct current motor or 
guarantee the automatic cutout to operate 
when direct current is used. Delays in ship- 
ment and possible disappointment in results 
will be avoided by using our standard motor. 


68 


When the standard equipment as furnished 
by us 1s used, it is guaranteed against defect of 
design, material or workmanship for three 
years. This guarantee is conditioned strictly 
on the wiring being done exactly according to 
our specifications. 

The electrical contractor is to furnish and 
erect standard double throw switches where re- 
quired and do all wiring. 

Consult us before specifying size of motors 
and we will advise concerning details for the 


best results.

POND TRUSS 


Foundry and Forge Shop Type 
(Patents Pending by Clarke P. Pond) 


Buildings in which large volumes of hot air and gases are produced, such as foundries 
and forge shops, cannot be effectively ventilated when ordinary roof monitors or sawtooths 
are used. 

Monitors are usually too small to discharge heat and gases quickly; consequently the 
slowly rising heated air cools before it can find an outlet, and returns to the floor. On the 
other hand, the wider the usual monitor is made, the greater is the space in its peak for 
accumulations of gases, which have a destructive effect on the steel work and roof; and 
the greater is the likelihood of return currents, and of cold air blowing in through the 
monitor sash; this is particularly true when pivoted monitor sash are used. 

Sawtooths are unsuitable for buildings of any kind which cover a large area, because the 
uniform height of the low roof does not aid the natural upward movement of the air. 

From the standpoint of light, the ordinary monitor is inadequate because it is usually 
too narrow, too high on the roof, and has too small a glass area. The sawtooth provides a 
uniform north light; but, as stated above, it can be used successfully only in small build- 
ings in which no heat or gases are developed. 

We originated the Pond Truss to accomplish, in combination with Lupton Products, 
certain results in daylighting and natural ventilation never before obtained. By its use 
an exceedingly free and rapid movement of air is obtained; the sash openings are of such 
size and location as to remove heated air and gases quickly and positively; and an abun- 
dant and uniform distribution of overhead light is secured. 


The principle of the Pond Truss roof is A Pond Truss requires no more steel work 
readily seen from the sectional drawings. The than any other roof construction having an 
three broad roof surfaces slope upward to wide equal monitor sash area, and it eliminates all 
outlets, in which lines of Pond Continuous Sash unnecessary cross section throughout the build- 
are hung. ‘These are located at the highest ing. 
points in the roof and the ascending currents, On page 72 are cross sectional views of vari- 
following the roof slope, are carried out through ous Pond Truss designs for different widths of 
them. There is a total absence of heat pockets, buildings and location of columns, showing the 
return currents and down drafts. Cold air position of the sash and the resulting move-

depends on the requirements of the particular wind. In a foundry, the cold air enters through 
installation, but is usually about one-half the the side wall openings or through specially de- 
building width. For wide buildings two or even signed intake openings in the roof, which are 
three Pond Trusses may be used. See illustra- described later, and, falling to the floor, flows .

cold air currents spread between the rolls until 
the furnaces are reached. The sectional draw- 
ings show the entire absence of pockets where 
heated air or gas can accumulate. 

A building will scavenge through the Pond 
Truss on the side exposed to the direct sweep 
of a strong wind, as well as on the leeward side. 
To accomplish this it is necessary only to re- 
duce the opening of, or to close, the one or two 
sloping lines of Pond Sash on the windward side, 
the vertical lines remaining open. This claim 
may be questioned by those not thoroughly 
familiar with the results given by Pond Truss, 
but we will demonstrate it by a smoke test for 
anyone seriously interested. 

A sufficient cold air supply can usually be

obtained through suitable sash in the side walls 
of buildings up to 150 or 175 feet wide; but 
where the width is greater, provision must be 
made in the low sections of the main roof for an 
additional supply. For this purpose Pond “A”’ 
Frames, which are A-shaped monitor struc- 
tures provided with Pond Continuous Sash, are 
placed on the roof over areas where little or no 
heat is produced. Cold air is drawn downward 
through these low roof sections by reason of the 
section of heated air in the higher portions of 
the Pond Truss roof. Any Pond Truss building 
will show a more rapid change of air than is re- 
quired by any state or industrial commission, 
and will demonstrate that forced ventilation 
is unnecessary. 


PONDS TRUSS 


The areas and location of the Pond Continu- 
ous Sash in a Pond Truss assure an even over- 
head light through the center of the building, 
regardless of its width. The combination of 
vertical and sloping lines of sash, which is 
shown in the diagrams, is expressly chosen both 
to increase the distribution of light and to facili- 
tate the escape of the heated air. So remarkable 
is the lighting effect that the Pond Truss has 
been extensively adopted solely on that ac- 
count in buildings, such as machine shops, 
where its ventilating qualities are less essential. 
The roof sash lines introduce direct light early 
and late in the day when it 1s most needed, and 
at midday protects the interior from the direct 
rays of the sun. This feature makes the Pond 
Truss particularly valuable for buildings in 
tropical countries. Attention is directed to the 
many interior views of Pond ‘Truss buildings 
in this catalogue, all showing the absence of 
cross lights, deep shadows or dimly lighted 
floor spaces. 

Pond Continuous Sash is always used in 
Pond Truss roof openings and in Pond “A” 
Frames, and is controlled by the Pond Operat- 
ing Device, hand or motor operated. Pond 
Sash is weather tight when open (see pages 48 
to 61), and ventilation may be had regardless 
of weather; this feature 1s particularly impor- 
tant in foundry buildings when moulds are be- 
ing poured. Pond Sash is largely used also for 
side wall openings, either in long lines or in tiers 
set between pilasters. Ifa distinctive side wall 
type of sash is desired—in which case we recom- 
mend Lupton Steel Sash, Counterbalanced 
Type—one or more lines of Pond Sash are used 
at the eaves, with the side wall type of sash 


below. These Lupton Products are fully 
described and illustrated elsewhere in_ this 
catalogue. 


The three broad surfaces of a Pond Truss 
Roof are economically constructed in any prac- 
ticable roof material; we recommend cinder 
concrete slab; but tile, plank and sheet metal 
may also be used. No metal flashings are re- 
quired for concrete roofs. The inverted roof 
slopes are drained by copper eave boxes of 
suitable size leading to wrought or cast iron 
conductors, which are brought down columns. 
Snow load-is adequately provided for in the 
structural design. 


Pond Truss may be successfully applied to 
old buildings. We shall be pleased to have you 
inspect installations of this kind; you will be 
convinced that the cost of such remodeling 
will yield large returns in increased production. 

We license our customers without charge to 
use the Pond Truss in buildings where Lupton 
Products are employed in roofs and side walls.

In order to assure its most efhcient use, we 
make a critical study of the requirements of 
the building, and prepare drawings showing its 
application. The required location of bays, 
spacing of columns, height to bottom chord of 
truss, and all structural and mechanical fea- 
tures are first determined, and our designs are 
made to conform in every way to such re- 
quirements.

Lines of Pond Continuous Sash are placed directly

Design 

Pond Truss, Power House Type, is de- 
signed to introduce daylight and fresh air 
directly to the firing alleys, and to immedi- 
ately discharge all heated gases outside of 
the building. Two roof levels are used; an 
upper roof over the coal bunkers and the 
transverse coal conveyors, and a lower roof 
over the boilers and the alley between the 
boilers and the turbine room, make it pos- 
sible to use Pond Continuous Sash on the 
slope between the coal bunker walls and the 


boiler roof. 


Smoke and unconsumed gases are dis- 
charged in the horizontal duct above roof 
which reduces the heat radiation in the 


boiler room about 80 per cent. 


Economy 


Pond ‘Truss, Power House Type, does not 


increase the first cost of the building; forced 


ventilation is not required. Daylight instead of artificial light in the firing alleys and better 


conditions for workmen are obtained by the use of this Truss. 


Application 


We will adapt the design shown on this page for use in Power Houses of any size. Small units 


with but one double firing alley, or large units with a number of alleys, are all easily lighted and 


ventilated. We will prepare details without charge. An inspection of the Cleveland Electric 


Illuminating Company, Lake Street Power Station, Cleveland, will show you more light and 


fresh air and less radiated heat than you will find in any other large boiler room.

LONG SPAN SAWTOOTH TRUSS 


There are many textile mills and some machine shops where it is desirable to have only 
north light. For these buildings we have designed a long span sawtooth truss, inclined at 
30 degrees, on which lines of Pond Continuous Sash are hung. The spacing of columns on 
the east and west lines is from 30 to 80 feet on centers, and 20 feet on the north and south 
lines. This type is more economical than the vertical truss, it interferes less with the light 


from sash and gives increased head room. 


Textile Mills 


Pond Continuous Sash is weather-tight when 
open and need never be closed on account of 
rain. Where humidors are required in factory 
processes we use bronze weather stripping to 
avoid leakage of air in winter, and also make 
special provision for carrying all condensation

LUPTON STEEL PARTITION 


(Patents Pending) 


Lupton Steel Partition is distinctly a partition in fact as well as in name. The strong 
and pleasing appearance of its square framing, its broad plate panels and large lights, is 
in striking contrast to the unsubstantial aspect of pipe or bar framing and ordinary steel 
sash units sometimes made to do duty as a partition. Lupton Steel Partition is perfectly 
suited to the finest office, yet 1s economical enough for factory use. 

The partition consists of units made of rolled steel members, set in framing of heavy 
plate steel formed to receive and support the units. The units are made in standard widths, 
2, 4 and 6 feet center to center of mullions and from 8 to 12 feet high. (See page 82.) 
Each has a base 4 feet high filled by a single plate; the upper part is glazed with any glass 
desired, or filled with wire screen. No unnecessary members are used; the vertical and 
horizontal lines of the framing present heavy, simple surfaces, which contrast agreeably 
with the lighter lines of the muntins. Rigid attachment to the floor is made without un- 
sightly and obstructive base pieces.

LUPTON STEEL TUBE DOORS 


Construction 


Lupton Steel Tube Doors have stiles of seam- 
less rectangular steel tube, mitred at the cor- 
ners and oxy-acetylene welded at all points 
of assembly. For doors up to and including 4 
feet wide by 8 feet high, the tube is 13% inches 
by 258 inches; for larger doors, 14 inches by 
3% inches. The natural strength of the tube 
members, combined with our method of welding 
stiles into a one-piece unit, makes a construc- 
tion which, regardless of size or usage, will not 
sag or be forced out of shape. 

The lower part of the door is filled by a panel 
of 12 gauge steel. The upper part is made to re- 
ceive glass or a steel panel asrequired. The panel 
and the glass, when the latter is in a single light, 
are held by frames made of flats or of special 
Z-bar sections. In large doors, where the glass 
is divided into several lights, a steel sash unit 
is set in the door to receive the glass. 


Hardware 


For hinged doors we provide heavy steel 
hinges with bronze bushings and cylinder locks 
with strong lever handles made to set in the 
stile. These locks, which can be master-keyed 
with any standard make, are specially made 
to our order and are of superior quality. 

Unless specified we do not include any hard- 
ware or fittings for sliding or hoist doors; but 
we will make provision in the doors to receive 
hardware if necessary information is furnished. 


Types 

We make Lupton Steel Tube Doors in any 
type for any practicable purpose and without 
limit as to size. Hinged doors are made singly, 
in pairs, in multiple leaves and double acting, 
equipped with our standard hardware and with 
frames as required. They range in size from 
small passage doors to locomotive and crane- 
way doors, and in use from latch doors for 
factories to doors harmonizing with the ap- 
pointments of fine buildings. ‘They are made 
with high or low base, or with brass kick plate 
panels, flush panels, sunk panels or louver ven- 
tilating panels. We do not include color paint- 


86 


ing, but we will furnish specifications showing 
how to obtain, at moderate cost, a finish in any 
color equal to enamel. 

We give special attention to sliding doors of 
extreme size to open singly or in pairs. The 
remarkable strength given by the construction 
of Lupton Steel Tube Doors assures satisfac- 
tion regardless of size. We provide interlocking 
weathering for these doors. For operating them 
we recommend and furnish a mechanical oper- 
ating device, either hand or motor driven. 


Frames 


Frames are made of heavy formed steel plate 
or of channels. For interior and exterior use in 
fine buildings, jamb casings and trim are formed 
in one piece from heavy steel plate welded at 
the corners, and made to suit thickness of walls. 

Jambs for industrial buildings are of formed 
steel or of channels of size and weight to carry 
load, and are provided with suitable wall 
anchors. We will submit details showing sills; 
but we do not furnish sills unless specified. 


Comparison 


We invite comparison with doors made of 
light steel sash members alone, or reinforced 
by small structural shapes and with riveted 
joints. Test for strength, rigidity and dura- 
bility; for opportunity for corrosion between 
the light built-up members; for quality of hard- 
ware and for appearance. 


Specification 


Specify Lupton Steel Tube Doors of desired 
type, made with stiles of rectangular seamless 
steel tube thoroughly -oxy-acetylene welded 
into a one-piece unit. Plate panels to be 12 
gauge steel held by frames, giving a uniform 
finish to both sides. Standard hardware for 
hinged doors to be included, and provision to 
be made by us for applying hardware to be 
furnished by others for sliding or hoist doors. 
Frames for hinged doors to be made of formed 
steel or of channels, as desired, and to be 
provided with suitable door stops and wall 
ties.

LUPTON ROLLED STEEL 
SKYLIGHT 


(Patented by Joah Brogden) 


The construction of Lupton Rolled Steel Skylight avoids the objections to ordinary 
skylights, such as breakage of glass when set in putty, leakage due to drying of putty, 
rapid deterioration by corrosion, and condensation gutters which collect dust. 

Glass breakage is caused by vibration or by the expansion and contraction of glass 
rigidly held in putty or in contact with metal. In the Lupton Skylight the glass rests 
between resilient strands of specially saturated oakum, which permits the glass to move 
under expansion and contraction. This also eliminates leakage due to drying of putty. 
The glass is held free from contact with any metals. 

Corrosion is prevented because all metal parts directly exposed to weather are copper 
and _ brass. 

There are no cross bars in the Lupton Skylight. When the slope is of such length as 
to require more than one light of glass, the lights are lapped 3 inches, bars and caps 
being offset to accommodate the lap. 

A valuable feature of Lupton Skylight is the simplicity and economy of its erection. 
All members are carefully cut to exact size, the bars and caps are offset at the factory, 
and the parts are shipped ready for assembly. No sheet metal workers’ tools are required, 
and the erection can be done by ordinary mechanics, no skilled labor being necessary.

LUPTON SHEET METAL 
FIREPROOF WINDOW 


(Patented) 


Lupton Sheet Metal Fireproof Windows are 
made to give really effective protection against 
the spread of fire. Lupton Windows embody 
features giving a greater efficiency than is re- 
quired by the Underwriters. They not only 
give the most favorable insurance rating, but 
offer positive assurance of safety. 


Material 


Plain galvanized steel used in most windows 
does not come up to our standard for Lupton 
Windows. We use heavy gauge galvanized 
Keystone Metal, a copper bearing open hearth 
steel, showing remarkable resistance to rust 
and fumes. Instead of 24 gauge throughout, 
which the Underwriters allow, we make the 
frame of 22 and the sash of 24 gauge. 


Method of Construction 


Each member of the frame—head, jambs and 
sill—is made from a single piece of metal. These 
members are assembled by mortise and tenon 
dovetailed clinched joints. By this construction 
the four simple members of the frame become 
practically a single unit of metal and stresses 
due to contraction and expansion are equally 
distributed. Mortise and tenon joints are used 
also in the sash, the corners of which are accu- 
rately mitred and fitted. The locked joints of 
Lupton Windows are not affected by intense 
heat followed by cold water, which cause the 
riveted joints widely used in cheaper windows 
to unbutton and release members. 

Muntins are made of two interlocking mem- 
bers and present the same detail on each side. 
Rails and muntins give a glass bearing of 34 
inch, and the mouldings are so formed that 
their natural tendency, when heated, is to 
straighten, thus holding the glass more securely 
instead of pulling away and releasing it. 


Weatherproof Qualities 
Complete weather tightness is secured in 
the double-hung windows by the beveled edge 
contact at head, meeting rails and sill, and the 
close contacts with wind break space in the 
jamb. Details on next page show how the sash 


o4: 


are forced in tight contact with the frames, 
keeping out drafts and preventing rattling. 

Pivoted windows have double contact weath- 
ering at jambs and head, and are kept tightly 
closed by the spring catch at the top and the 
gravity lock at the bottom. See details. 

Double-hung sash are hung on heavy steel 
chains running over roller bearing pulleys in 
dustproof cases, and are balanced by steel sec- 
tional weights; hook lifts and locks are also 
provided. Automatic closing devices are fur- 
nished at an additional cost when specified. 
Pivoted sash are provided with spring catches 
and chains, with fusible links and gravity locks 
for automatic closing in case of fire. 


General 


Lupton Windows of all types are shipped 
with the unglazed sash set in the frames; the 
glass, when furnished by us, is cut to size 
ready for glazing and shipped separately. The 
glazing is done by inserting glass down through 
the top of sash, carefully embedding in putty 
and, as each row of lights is glazed, fitting in 
the horizontal muntins. 

For segmental heads, segment should be 
made only in the frame, sash having square 
head; this is cheaper and better than if both 
are segmental. We recommend single window 
openings in preference to multiple windows 
and mullions. 


Sizes 


Lupton Sheet Metal Fireproof Windows are 
made for openings of any size; but single win- 
dows wider than 5 feet or higher than 9g feet 
will not be labeled by the Underwriters. 


Specifications 

Specify standard Lupton Sheet Metal Fire- 
proof Windows of the types desired, made of 
galvanized Keystone Metal, 22 gauge in frames 
and 24 gauge in sash. All members assembled 
by means of mortise and tenon dovetailed 
clinched joints; glass to have bearing of 34 inch; 
standard Lupton hardware. Decline to accept 
windows made of galvanized steel or having 24 
gauge metal throughout and riveted joints.

WALDMIRE LOUVER 


(Patented) 


Construction 


Waldmire Louvers are made of suitably 
formed slats which are vertically spaced 6 
inches on centers and set in continuous lines 
entirely outside of all supports. The slats are 
made in a standard length of 10 feet and are 
given a lapped joint of 1% inches. This con- 
struction eliminates exterior posts, panels and 
all soldered connections. ‘The shape of the 
louver slats with a horizontal flange at the top 
assures least opportunity for entrance of rain 
and snow. Unless otherwise specified, Waldmire 
Louvers are made of 22 gauge galvanized Key- 
stone Metal, a copper bearing metal which 
shows remarkable resistance to the action of 
rust and fumes. 


Waldmire Siding 


For tobacco barns, drying sheds or other 
buildings where continuous ventilation 1s re- 
quired, we furnish Waldmire Siding of the same 
construction as the louvers but made for ver- 
tical spacing of 12 inches on centers. 


Structural Work Required 


Vertical supports, which may be either wood 
or steel, should be set on centers of 591% inches, 
to provide a 14-inch lapped joint for louver 
slats. Louvers are fastened to woodwork by 
spikes and ferrules, and to steel by bolts. We 
do not furnish any structural work for the sup- 
port of louvers or siding, but will submit draw- 
ings giving complete details and punching 
required. 


Erection 


Any building foreman or other mechanic can 
erect Waldmire Louvers and Siding with un- 
skilled labor; no soldering or any sheet metal 
worker’s tools are necessary. 


Comparison 


For practicability of construction, compare 
Waldmire Louvers and Siding, set in continu- 
ous lines outside of all structural work and 
without panel posts, riveted or soldered con- 
nections, with paneled construction, soldered 
or riveted to posts. For quality of material, 
compare 22 gauge galvanized Keystone Metal 
with lighter gauge galvanized steel. For com- 
plete cost in place, compare the cost of erecting 
by unskilled labor with the cost of highly paid 
sheet metal workers. 


Work Not Included 


We do not include any structural supports. 
We do not include any head or cornice mould- 
ings or sill aprons unless specifically called for. 


Specification 


Specify Waldmire Louvers or Siding, made 
of 22 gauge galvanized Keystone Metal, with 
continuous slats and 1'%-inch lapped joints,

vided with spikes or bolts as required by struc- 
tural work. Manufactured by David Lupton’s 
Sons Co., and erected by the contractor.
